"Tea is a time in which we were perfectly contented with ourselves and one another." ~ Charles Dickens

Hello lovely ladies and welcome to another Tea Time!

I hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day! I had a very busy weekend myself, baking muffins for a Mother's Day Tea at church and cooking for a celebration at my son's where we celebrated not only Mother's Day but my son's graduation as well.

So, it's nice to sit quietly and have a cup of tea with you today. I want to thank you all for your lovely comments last week on my Anniversary post. I appreciate each and every comment, and you!

Last weekend when Hubby and I were away for our little get-away, I found this pretty plate.

It is another Skye McGhie pattern called Antique Rose and I just couldn't pass it by. The lady at the antique shop told me she always travels to the US to buy her inventory. I love the white and green rose pattern with the gold trim!

The beautiful doily beneath the plate was crocheted by my late Aunt Ethel.

I can even hang the plate if I wish because it has two openings in the back.

I must apologize because the lighting was terrible when I took these photos but doesn't the plate look pretty with my Cream Lace pieces?

Our friendship is like a pot of tea...

a special blend of you and me. ~ Unknown

Do you see my wee Eiffel Tower?

My youngest son brought it back from Paris for me. Can you see Paris on it? It is keeping good company with the fleur de lis pattern on the Cream Lace teapot and teacup.

I do love these creamy coloured porcelain pieces! And my white tulips lend themselves so beautifully.

I made a dessert for tea today. The recipe is below.

This is a light dessert and makes about twelve servings which is wonderful when you have company.

It starts with a graham cracker crumb base. A layer of cream cheese/whipped topping goes on next....

Then a layer of pudding....

Spread dollops of whipped topping over the pudding layer and refrigerate. Just before serving add sliced strawberries or chocolate curls.

I always enjoy seeing all your tea things, whether you have shared them before or not.

This tea party is all about sharing your joy of tea time and any thoughts you may have on the subject.

And for the Summer months, I would love to see your teacups and teapots indoors as well as out in the garden, at the beach, on a park bench, etc...Also I would enjoy seeing your teacup and teapot crafts as well as recipes and any stories you might wish to share with us for tea time. So, let's have fun this Summer with our teas! Get out there and be as creative, fancy, or as laid back as you wish.

Happiness is sharing tea with a friend.

I am delighted you have stopped by for a visit today. Your presence always make my tea party that much more special! Do you have a favourite teacup/teapot or mug that you would like to share with us today? I would love to see it and I'm sure others would too!
If you wish, you may do coffee instead of tea or the following is acceptable too:
Hot Apple Cider
Hot Chocolate
Lemonade
Iced Tea or iced coffee
Punch in a lovely bowl.
No alcoholic beverages please.

The Tea Time Tuesday button on my sidebar is available for you to use in your post or place on your sidebar if you wish. A poem, tea quote, or scripture verse would be more than welcome! To be sure everyone has a visit, it would be nice if you visited the participant before and after your name.

About Me

I live a happy life in Green Gables country with my sweet hubby who is a retired pastor. We have three wonderful sons and five darling grandchildren. I love being a home maker and I thrive on bringing beauty and comfort into my home for my family and friends to enjoy. Life is made even richer by my faith in God who has taught me, "The joy of the Lord is my strength." I am so happy you have stopped by and I welcome you through my yellow door.

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today. " ~ Dale Carnegie

My Roses and teapots are two of my favourite things

"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." ~ Henry Ward Beecher

The Velveteen Rabbit

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't become ugly, except to people who don't understand. "~ The Velveteen Rabbit

Pink Saturday

Kathy's ~ "Victoria- A Return to Loveliness" and "Home and Garden Thursday"

A Favourite Scripture Verse

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, of good report, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." ~ PHIL. 4:8

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life that are the real ones after all. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

Let us be thankful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~ Marcel Proust
